5 Chairman s Message Welcome to the new season. As always we are extremely excited by the prospect of a long and hot summer to enable us continue to build our great game in the Wairarapa. We have made great strides over the off season to enable the development of future programmes to meet player demand and development. This is testament to the work of our army of volunteers and the inspirational leadership of Simon Roseingrave, who is responsible our operations and development of our game locally. We look forward to even greater achievements this season as our numbers of senior and junior players continue to rise. With the introduction of New Zealand Cricket s Age and Stage programme we expect our Hardball cricketers to move to Secondary school cricket with a broader skill set and with both more crease and field time under their belts. Building sustainable playing numbers in our senior men s competition is a key focus for the Wairarapa Cricket Association this year and during the winter break a senior men s Think Tank has endorsed a new competition format which will see all senior men s team competing in one large Open Grade competition. On top of this two teams have entered the Coastal Challenge competition in Whangaui with the key focus of stretching our more senior players in advance of the representative season. Thank you to everyone for their assistance throughout the coming year, particularly the ground staff, players, parents, coaches, scorers, umpires and the board and staff of the WCA. Finally, good luck to all of our teams and we look forward to another outstanding year. Enjoy the season! David Parke Chairman Wairarapa Cricket Association Wairarapa Cricket Handbook Page 3

20 HOURS OF PLAY a pm to 6:20 pm. b. Each team shall bat for a maximum of 40 overs unless all out earlier. c. In the event of a team batting failing to bowl 40 overs before 3:30 pm, or in the event of a late start two the time remaining between the start and 6.20pm shall result in a reduction of overs. The number of overs per innings will be determined by the umpires. Should the team bowling first fail to complete the required number of overs within the time limits as determined by the umpires, they shall continue to bowl their remaining overs but be limited to the number of overs they had bowled at the completion of the agreed innings time. For example, Team A bowling first has completed 38 overs at the agreed interval. Umpires will note the number of completed overs, and Team B will continue to bat out its 40 overs. Team A are now required to bat for the number of overs completed at the agreed interval (38). No reduction in runs required. If the team bowling second fails to bowl their allocated overs in the time available then that side will be awarded 6 runs for very whole over that has not been bowled. And the remaining overs will still be bowled. OVERS No bowler shall bowl more than 8 overs. POWER PLAYS Powerplay 1: (8 overs for an uninterrupted match) shall be at the start of the innings. No more than TWO fielders are permitted, at the instant of delivery, outside the 30 yard ring. Powerplay 2: (9-32 overs for an uninterrupted match) No more than FOUR fielders are permitted, at the instant of delivery, outside the 30 yard ring. Powerplay 3: (33-40 overs for an uninterrupted match) No more than FIVE fielders are permitted, at the instant of delivery, outside the 30 yard ring. Reduction of Powerplay Overs: Where the number of overs available in an innings is reduced, the number of Powerplay overs shall be reduced proportionately (20%, 60%, 20%)(see appendix). Interruption of Powerplay Overs: Each block of Powerplay Overs must commence at the start of an over. If play is interrupted during a Powerplay block, and, on resumption, the total number of Powerplay overs has already been exceeded, then the fielding restrictions will be lifted immediately. INTERRUPTED GAME If play is delayed by weather, light or ground conditions, the time remaining is to be divided equally between the teams with 10 minutes between innings. In this instance the team batting first shall not bat beyond 5:10 pm. (To achieve a minimum of 32 overs thus constituting a match, the team batting first must start its innings no later than 4:10 pm) DUCKWORTH LEWIS The Duckworth Lewis system will be used in all matches where available. See CricHQ user guide by clicking here. If not available, the following formula will be used: REDUCTION OF OVERS Interrupted Games a. A result is achieved if sixteen (16) overs have been bowled by each team or a team is dismissed or a result is achieved within 16 overs. Wairarapa Cricket Handbook Page 18

21 b. If the team batting second has not had the opportunity to complete the agreed number of overs and has neither been all out or passed the opposition score, the result shall be decided as follows: The Base Run Rate (Run Rate A) for the team batting first shall be determined by dividing the Total Runs Scored by the number of overs * available to the batting side. The Overs Lost (Total L) is calculated by subtracting the overs available to the team batting second from the total overs available to the team batting first. For each Over Lost (Total L), the Base Run Rate is increased by 1% and the Target Score is calculated as follows: Target Score = Run Rate A x (100 + Total L) x Overs available to second team/100 = A x (100 + L) x OVERS 100 *if the team batting first is all out then the total overs are the maximum available. TIES The Tie will apply regardless of wickets lost, except in semi-finals and finals where the following criteria will be used to determine a winner: 1. A Super Over play-off will be held. UMPIRES CUP FORMAT One full rounds of games.
